What is NB-IoT?
NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) is a low power wide area (LPWA) technology designed for the Internet of Things (IoT). It's designed for applications that require long battery life, low bandwidth, and operate in hard-to-reach locations. Common uses include smart metering, asset tracking, environmental monitoring, and smart city applications like parking sensors.
What other technologies are related to NB-IoT?
NB-IoT Competitor Technologies
LTE-M
LTE-M is another LPWAN technology standardized by 3GPP, directly competing with NB-IoT in some IoT applications.
LoRaWAN
LoRaWAN is a competing LPWAN technology, offering different trade-offs in terms of range, data rate, and power consumption.
LoRa
LoRa is the physical layer behind LoRaWAN, competing as a foundational technology in the LPWAN space.
Cat M1
Cat M1 (same as LTE-M) is a competing LPWAN technology offering different trade-offs than NB-IoT.
Sigfox
Sigfox is a competing LPWAN technology with a focus on very low power and low data rate applications.
CAT-M
CAT-M (same as LTE-M) is a competing LPWAN technology offering different trade-offs than NB-IoT.
NB-IoT Complementary Technologies
CoAP
CoAP is a lightweight application layer protocol that can be used with NB-IoT for IoT communication.
LWM2M
LWM2M is a device management protocol that can be used with NB-IoT for managing IoT devices.
6LoWPAN
6LoWPAN enables IPv6 over low-power wireless networks, and can be used in conjunction with NB-IoT.
